Answer 1

The correct option is C Insular

Option C: 'Insular' is 'ignorant of or uninterested in cultures, ideas, or people outside one's own experiences'.

Hence this word substitutes the given words and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Fanatic' is 'a person filled with excessive, single-minded enthusiasm, especially for an extreme religious or political cause'.

Option B: 'Patriotic' is 'having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one's country'.
